Clean and sunny beaches of Tel Aviv attract crowds of city residents and tourists. In one of the most secularised cities of Israel, there is a space for its Orthodox female dwellers longing to swim in the sea. A fenced and marked beach on selected days of the week attracts women dressed in traditional clothes. It is a shelter and a meeting place for praying women of different ages. They swim, exercise, meditate and even surf under the watchful eye of lifeguards who, from their tower, have an excellent view of an adjacent beach where men's swimming trunks patterned with rainbow flags are much more common than long robes.
